imperialism, facism, slavery, torturing, … can’t pick one

kdenlive and openshot are my choice. openshot is easier for basic stuff but kinda buggy (at least it was in 2023)

well yeah, it surely is. win10 iot ltsc itself is defo getting support till 2032, but massgrave’s hwid/tsforge may get blocked at some point, though most people highly doubt that since m$ doesn’t really care at this point. (heck, the massgrave repos are hosted on m$ owned github) in addition to that, massgrave’s hwid mode generates an hwid on microsoft’s servers just like genuine windows licenses, so i’m pretty sure it’ll remain working, even if the method to generate hwid gets blocked somehow…

i do believe switching to a gnu/linux distro is a much better choice, but this is also an option if your relatives really prefer using windows or need to.

my thinkpad is haunted, it sometimes boots up by itself

probably a faulty power button

i would do vnc through tailscale or reverse ssh

massgrave.dev

nah there are hacked/sold accounts

bro isn’t using butterfly to flip bits?

A Galaxy S7 is still fairly powerful. It should be able to do everything a phone does. Put LineageOS if you need a more recent android version. Are you on a bootloader permalocked variant?

Gulim (default font for korean windows before vista, so similar to Tahoma) with font smoothing disabled :)

well i could block people/insance if i want, on my account level. unless it’s a moderation problem i prefer having the server not blacklisting certain accounts/instances based on their view.

it seems like lemmy.today is decent, especially since there are no blocked instances. i moved from lemmy.sdf.org recently since their servers were down too often.

i’d rather spend time actually learning and doing things instead of being an LLM slopper lol

as a student, this is much more interesting than studying

not sure if it’s very related but apparently spotify is killing their api. hopefully annas releases proper dumps that can replace it…

same, i see IRCv3 is pretty good on paper. it’s pretty hard to find and configure it to work like discord with persistent history and file uploads though… would be nice if i can convince my friends to switch over.

i agree it’s very in beta state but i’ve known them since revolt days and tried it numerous times. it could work for some people that only needs basic chat and discord-ish UI. haven’t tried simplex or mumble, i agree jitsi works well but the UI is not like discord (idc but my friends do), matrix is too buggy but could be fine if it actually works.

edit: i’m looking at zulip rn as the discord replacement for my friend group, since it has native ios/android apps and such. the only problem is the lack of voice chat/screen sharing. there’s kinda jitsi integration (button to create meeting link) but it’s not as well integrated as discord though. (on discord, one can see on the channel list if there’s someone in voice chat and if their mic is on, screen’s being shared, etc)

did see the dickpic shit, due to not much auto moderation there are quite a few of those…

the DM thing is weird, i never got any… (other than the nicole spam) perhaps you triggered some weird person :/

devuan is a solid distro that just works, not sure what’s your problem with that

if you have the storage, just dump the whole drive. you can then boot that windows installation again, or even use it on a vm under linux.
